President plans to set a task for the government to work out a concept for the development of villages and small towns

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that he will address the Cabinet of Ministers with the task of preparing a concept for the development of villages and small towns. He told it during the conversation with representatives of the media within the working trip to the Kherson region.

The Head of State noted that today he visited the village of Sadove in the Kherson region and talked to local residents. According to the President, Ukrainian villages need a systematic approach and development.

"I would like to set a task for the government to prepare a principled state approach to villages and small towns. Rural reform… Everything should be available: medicine, school, jobs and all working institutions. Let alone the fact that people just don't have the Internet. What online services can we offer if there is no Internet?” the President emphasized.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed his belief that the village of Sadove could become an example of reform so that the whole of Ukraine could see what every village should be like.
